Well, considering your requirements here (not more than 3-4 users at
the same time), setting up a http server (such as apache) and making
your stream available that way should be the easiest and maybe the most
efficent solution. Users can then either download the video, or watch
it directly using VLC or any other video player capable of reading http
streams...
